How does this compare to LilyPond? I'm surprised it isn't mentioned at all, since from a first glance the notation looks very similar.

The Coursera course Programming Languages (Part A and B) by Dan Grossman teaches FP (and more) using SML and Racket. I enjoyed this course a lot. I would not recommend it for kids, but it should be great for students with some limited programming experience.
